Framing
Framing was done by Grondahl Construction a Seattle framing company.
 |
| First floor framing on existing foundation. Notice floor is has been shimmed up 7.5" from top of foundation wall to give basement a 7'-1" basement height. |
 |
| New North Wall ready to be raised up |
 |
| New South wall ready for steel posts |
 |
| New steel posts in South wall |
 |
| Steel bucket to support beam. The welded tabs "stiffen" the wall below and transfer shear. Once in, a steel angle was welded to the tab that ran parallel to the wall to give it added stiffness. |
 |
| Thank goodness that Plywood Supply has a large knuckle boom to drop that load of lumber where we need it. Notice the fence and the powerlines. This guy knows how to thread a needle! |
 |
| West wall beam. Needed a beam lifter to get this one into place |
 |
| Beam lifter to set flush framed beam along South wall. |
 |
| Birds eye view as they set beam in place |
 |
| Upper windows along south wall. Steel beams transfer shear loads to the wall below. |
